I'm very close to purchasing a 914 that is currently in Seattle. I'm in Arizona. Because my time is limited to a weekend, my wife is very nervous about the idea of my son & I driving from Seattle to Phoenix with a car that we don't actually know (Murphy comes to mind).
So I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with a auto hauling company that you are willing to recommend. I picked 3 out of the yellow pages that had web sites and asked for bids. They all came in at about $700 for Seattle to Phoenix, but it's hard to tell from a web site whether one should actually trust their classic car to them. Any thoughts or recommendations will be most appreciated! |

Rent a tow dolly in Seattle and drive back and drop in Az.
You could buy a tow dolly and drive it back then you will have one for future projects. or you could sell it and easily make your money back. But withht e cost of gas and lodging, you would be better off with a transport co. I am using one today that runs up and down the west coast only, Robin Hood transport, enclosed from Portland to LA $300. Try calling John Valdez at 503-312-8581, not associated in any way and I make not claims or warranties. CCLinLOO |
